"Fixing up a house can be a romantic endeavor. Andre Herrero, cofounder of the architecture and design studio Charlap Hyman & Herrero, discovered this when designing an apartment for his girlfriend, Paige Zollars, who works in fashion. In 2020, Zollars and her sister, Laura, a music manager, purchased a West Hollywood duplex that was 'ugly as sin,' Herrero says. Untouched since the 1970s, it had a dated ski-chalet aesthetic and a suffocating layout. 'I’m so grateful Andre came with us to view it,' Paige says. 'Only an architect could have seen the potential.'"
